For many, director Joon-ho Bong is about as big as Korean blockbuster filmmakers come. His latest flick, The Host, got critical acclaim at Cannes—even though it wasn't entered in competition!
Besides an upcoming cartoon and theme park based on The Host, a cell phone and a PSP role-playing-game version of movie have been announced. For the video game, players get to choose to be one of the family members and each has a unique weapon. For example a bottle of alcohol (light it and throw), a bow and arrow (the aunt character in the movie wants to enter the Olympics), a baseball bat, etc.
While trying to rescue your daughter (cousin or grand daughter... depending on who you are), players must overcome antagonistic characters. Director Bong even appears in-game, providing advice and giving tips.
